Very nice and clean looking tailgate area there. Guess I'll need to get that rubber, straighten out my metal and get it painted and installed. I've seen that Chrome Strip for sale on a site somewhere and now I can't find it. Do you know who has them?
Picked up a '71 truck shroud that matches up for my mounting holes but I'll probably have to trim it back - I don't have a lot of clearance between my radiator and fan/alternator/engine stuff.....
On that hoist, any worry about "spreading" the top by doing it that way? I'm thinking about using a 2x2 or 2x4 under the top and bolt to it to make sure I don't warp the top. What do you have in the ceiling to lift it? Manual or a winch?
